When I was very young, my parents took us to Clark's as a day trip while we were enjoying a few weeks at the lake. We went to Clark's to see the "eskimo dogs" as my mother was into the AKC and dogs in general. At that time, the Clark's were into sled dog races and the bear show was a side event. In these early days, the bear show was done without a cage. The people would just form a circle and one of the Clark brothers would bring out the bear and do the show. This was 58 years ago and I still make a point to go to Clark's once each year, even if it is by myself. I am a huge fan of all they do and have done.

I doubt you will ever find a place that is anything like Clark's Trading Post today, anywhere on Earth. It is a truly unique experience that is well worth the drive from any place in the Lakes Region.

Take yourselves and your kids/grand-kids and all will have a great and memorable day.

Great thread GBG! We need more threads like this!!!
